How'd you drink 1 gallon a day? Did you carry a gallon around? I love water so this challenge would be pretty easy.


Another question I got is, should I drink more than a gallon since I'm like 6' 280lbs?

Yes I carried a gallon jug and committed to killing it everyday.

The rule of thumb is drink half of your weight in ounces minimum - ie: 280lbs = 140 Ounces. / 200 lbs = 100 Ounces

I'm tempted to try this.:ehh: I just started lifting + cardio monday. I don't really have drinking problems. Orange juice, Gatorade, or milk is all I drink. And protein powder


Giving up sugar is gonna be too hard and too extreme. I eat 2 bananas a day

And what about electrolytes?

I need to get on this:ohhh: @TAYLONDO SAMSWORTHY does drinking non-sweetened tea add to the water or is it a gallon of water and tea/coffee is extra?

Hardest part will be the alcohol for me, I don't drink juices or soda anyway

why no tea?

I've been consistently losing allot of weight in the past year or so

and I feel like its partly due to the green tea I drink, I drink about 4 cups a day

(Unsweetened) Tea is a natural detox.
You can infuse your water for more flavor.

fukk it. Day 1 :wow:

I'm 24 and I'm not big or anything but a nikka can kill sodas.. like 12-18 a day if I wanted. I recognize my addiction to sugar and it's time to end that shyt. I drink a lot and I'm done with that shyt too. I already drink about a half a gallon of water a day though but I'm going to up that to a gallon and a half or so.

Went into the fridge and grabbed those punk ass dr. peppers and stomped them shyts in the trash. Took the trash out, put a new filter in my brita and started my this shyt TODAY.

Hope yall get in too.

I started this yesterday, figured it'll be easier since it's a work weekend, just skipped coffee at work (had a massive headache, not sure if it's related since I don't drink coffee daily but who knows) and no beer when I got home. The amount of water is a challenge tho, been pissing all day, no idea if I got to a gallon.

A standard bottle of water is 16.9 fl oz, a gallon is 128 fl oz just for a standard of reference
